Enabling Direct Play and Fixing the 0xc0000022 Error (PC)

Ever have the 0xc0000022 pop up on you when you want to play an old game. There is a fix for that and all it is, is enabling Direct Play. A feature that is no longer used in modern games but most of our favorite classic PC titles.

So to enable Direct Play on Windows 10 and possibly other Windows operating system is going to control panel and opening Program and Features. After that you need to open "Turn Windows features on or off". Next go to "Legacy Components" and select Direct Play and make sure its checkmarked. Press "OK" then it will install the component and after that your game should load.
